Problem to be solved: to provide a sterilizing apparatus for a small, lightweight, inexpensive air capable of moving and carrying one by one to each person by a portable apparatus for sterilizing a pathogen such as bacteria and viruses drifting in air in a short time and supplying safe air.Solution: an intake air inlet 2 and an outlet 9 are provided at an end of a small sealed container, and a tube connecting the two openings is accommodated in the container, and ultraviolet rays are irradiated from ultraviolet LED 7 or ultraviolet lamp installed in the container to be sterilized.The sterilized air is discharged to the mask or helmet used for the head of the user of the sterilization apparatus using a tube attached to the outside of the discharge port of the container, so that the air sterilized by the user of this apparatus can be ventilated.Diagram【課題】空気中に漂う細菌やウイルスの様な病原体を短時間に殺菌して、安全な空気を供給する携帯型の装置で、各人一人に一台ずつ携帯して移動できる小型、軽量で安価な空気の殺菌装置を提供する。【解決手段】小型の密閉した容器の端部に外気の取り入れ口2と排出口9を設け、この2つの開口部を結んだ管を容器内に収納し、容器内に設置した紫外線LED7や紫外線ランプから紫外線を照射して殺菌する。殺菌した空気を容器の排出口の外部に取付けた管を使って、この殺菌装置の利用者の頭部に用いられたマスクやヘルメットに排出する事でこの装置の利用者が殺菌された空気を呼吸する事ができる。【選択図】図1
